“They have countless sponsorships like this. They also sponsor more beastmasters than you can imagine.”

“They’re so powerful?” An investigator clicked his tongue, “But isn’t their market value only a few hundred million?”

Wang Ye was also pondering in his heart. Could Ming Kai’s words be fake?

“Young man,” Lin Rou smiled, “Market value is something estimated by the capital of other countries. The pet equipment industry is limited by its resources and is mostly monopolized by other countries. In the past, 90% of the pet equipment used by beastmasters in Xinghai Province came from foreign countries. In the early days, foreign capital had wanted to invest in Mingguang Enterprise but was rejected. But our country’s foothold to speak in the pet industry is too unimportant... Therefore, in the eyes of foreign countries, Mingguang Enterprise is only a small enterprise that can’t create too high a profit and aren’t worth much money. As such, they can only develop in Xinghai Province. That being said, Mingguang Enterprise can be considered second to none in Xinghai Province. It’s just that they aren’t willing to take too much of your money.”

Lin Rou then sighed and stopped saying too much, “Knowing this is meaningless to you. Just take the assessment well.”

Wang Ye finally understood.

“In that case, Mingguang Enterprise can be considered a big and conscientious enterprise, then?” Wang Ye asked.

From that diary, being the descendant of Ming Tianxu, they probably weren’t too bad.

However, such an enterprise that was related to the country probably wasn’t simple.

The Young Miss had a six-figure pocket money every month, and she could easily sponsor hundreds of thousands or even millions worth of materials...

Wang Ye estimated that this should be considered the expenses of the enterprise, right?

“No wonder Ming Kai said that their net profit was only a few million,” Wang Ye shook his head, “I’ve been hasty.”

Thinking of this, Wang Ye greeted Ming Zhu warmly.

“Hm? Your green sparrow doesn’t seem to have evolved?” Ming Zhu walked over and looked at Xiao Jiu who was on Wang Ye’s shoulder.

“Yeah... There was a little problem with the evolution,” Wang ye shrugged. “But the materials are still here and aren’t wasted. Miss Ming, please don’t worry, I won’t let your materials go to waste.”

Ming Zhu nodded and didn’t say anything else.

She had thought that it was unlikely for Wang Ye’s green sparrow to successfully evolve into the divine great roc.

“Alright, the assessment is about to begin,” Ming Zhu thought for a moment before saying, “Based on my understanding of the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb, you should be able to pass the first stage. It’s hard to say for the second stage. though. That place is very restrictive on your green sparrow. After passing the first stage, I suggest you explore the cycle in the first stage more. Find more materials there and sell them for money. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for you to get on the assessment’s ranking this time. Only the top ten will be rewarded. If you want to enter the top ten, it’s unlikely if you can’t pass the second stage.”

Judging from Ming Zhu’s tone, Wang Ye estimated that there should be quite a number of investigators who were sponsored by Mingguang Enterprise.

“If the second stage is very difficult, can’t I just pass the third stage straight away?” Wang Ye said.

“...” Ming Zhi.

“Woo~!” Behind her, the white moon fox snickered.

“Wang Ye, your thoughts are quite active...” Ming Zhu could not help but laugh, “Alright, the assessment is about to begin. Go on then!”

Wang Ye nodded. Carrying his luggage, he slowly entered the spatial membrane in front of the rows of investigators who were guarding the halo entrance.

The first thing Wang Ye did after entering the spatial membrane was to find a place to put his luggage into the spatial sphere to lighten his load.

“So this is the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb?” Looking at the scene in front of him, Wang Ye took a deep breath.

It was a little gloomy.

The sky was dark, and before him was a lifeless cemetery.

There were many tombstones of different sizes there. In the long river of time, the carvings on these tombstones had long been erased, and they were more like grooves of stone pillars of different sizes now.

This should be the outer area of the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb, also known as the God Burial Mausoleum.

The energy in the air was very mixed.

Upon entering the secret realm, Wang Ye could feel that his spiritual perception had become weaker.

A medium secret realm was still very dangerous.

Wang Ye didn’t know much about the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb. He only knew that this place was said to be a graveyard for fierce beasts. Many fierce beasts had died here many years ago.

“Don’t panic when upon arrival in the secret realm. Let’s use the reality simulation to explore first,” Wang Ye put Xiao Jiu down, “We’ve got to find another opportunity to run a simulation and upgrade your Feathery Habitat.”

“Chirp!” Xiao Jiu flapped its wings, probably because it was not used to the environment.

Wang Ye began the reality simulation.

Actually, he could choose not to run it, because it had been shown in the last simulation that he and Xiao Jiu had passed the first stage.

This meant that the first stage should not be difficult for them.

Then, naturally, he had to focus on the treasure hunt.

What was the purpose of the reality simulation? Wasn’t it precisely for treasure hunting?

As long as Xiao Jiu could find it in the simulation, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to find it in reality.

[The reality simulation begins, loading information...]

[You begin your exploration in the God Burial Mausoleum. On the first day, you wandered around aimlessly and only found some simple materials. Your beastmaster was very dissatisfied. You begin to increase your efforts in searching for treasures!]

[Two days later, you headed west. Finally, in a purple graveyard, you killed a few powerful fierce beasts with all your might and dug out a glowing bone buried in the ground. You thought this was a treasure, but your beastmaster thought it was trash. You were very angry and ignored your beastmaster for two days.]

[Four days later, you dug out an eyeball-like gem in the middle of a tombstone that was at least ten meters tall. You thought this was a treasure as well. This time, your beastmaster agreed with you and you were very happy.]

[Six days later, because you hadn’t left the secret realm for a long time, you felt a little unwell. Your beastmaster wanted to leave for your safety... However, at that moment, you and your beastmaster discovered to your surprise that you couldn’t get out.]

[You and your beastmaster fell into a strange spatial cycle. No matter how you flew, you just couldn’t get out of this cemetery... In the end, you starved to death in the God Burial Mausoleum.]

[The simulation has ended. The survival time is too short. No rewards.]

“...” Wang Ye.

No way! Was this place so dangerous?

No wonder it was called a loop.

Wang Ye was a little speechless as he read the information.

The time limit was three days. The treasure hunting time in the simulation had clearly exceeded that. It had spanned for almost half a month.

“No wonder they set the time limit to be three days... There’ll probably be a huge problem to stay in this place for more than three days,” Wang Ye shook his head.

Wang Ye did not plan to run another simulation.

Since he had found two things in the simulation, he would wait and see those things first.

On the other hand, only three materials were needed for the assessment: the Linggu flower, Linguang herb, and a set of skeletons.

These materials were very easy to find, and the slightly more troublesome one was the skeleton.

Only the demon skeleton ghosts would drop them.

“The purple graveyard in the west...” Wang Ye called for Xiao Jiu to start heading west, “Let’s just casually collect the materials for the assessment on the way.”

Perhaps it was because the God Burial Mausoleum was huge, but Wang Ye still didn’t meet a single investigator even after walking for a few hours.

He did, instead, encounter quite a number of fierce beasts.

Most of them were fierce beasts above eight-star level-one.

“The assessment doesn’t seem to be that difficult... Why is the elimination rate so high?”

Wang Ye continued to move forward. Relying on its strength, Xiao Jiu used the beginner skills, Wind and Feather Cut, to harvest all kinds of fierce beasts like cutting grass.

Xiao Jiu was having a great time fighting. It felt great to watch the fierce beasts being killed instantly by a single skill of its own.

This made it feel that the exhaustion and suffering in the script simulation were all worth it.

In just a few hours, Wang Ye had basically collected all the materials needed for the assessment.

The only problem was the skeletons.

Demon skeleton ghosts were relatively rare, and he had yet to meet one.

After walking for another hour, Wang Ye finally saw a demon skeleton ghost in front of a tombstone that was several meters tall.

The difference was that this demon skeleton ghost was at level two. Its spiritual energy waves were very powerful, and it was exuding a strange aura.

It was four meters tall, and its upper body was in the form of a human. It leaned against the tombstone. Its rotten flesh was emitting a foul smell, and its bones were sticking out of its body, making it look very deformed.

Its lower body was abnormally thick, and its rotten flesh was covered with all kinds of wriggling insects. There were even some small fierce beasts that were wrapped around its two huge legs.

At the same time, it had a rusty sword in its hand.

“Kill it, and the materials for the assessment should all be collected,” Wang Ye glanced at it and felt that it was painful to the eyes.

Compared to the demon skeleton ghost that Lin Rou had brought, this one was stronger and even more disgusting.

“Chirp!” Xiao Jiu flew over, wanting to initiate an attack and provoke it.

However, after it flew over, it discovered that the demon skeleton ghost didn’t even bother about its presence. The latter just looked straight into the distance.

It didn’t move at all, as if it was in a trance.

It was very strange!
